Who will win? England to retain the Ashes but not win them outright unless Brisbane is heavily disrupted by weatherAnd the score? 2-2 unless the first Test is badly affected in which case 2-1 to England

Glenn McGrath

Who will win? Australia. If they can keep Peter Siddle, Ryan Harris and Mitchell Johnson fit then I'm tipping them. If any of those three get injured then I think they'll find it pretty tough. But in terms of the players currently available I think Australia can do it.And the score? I always struggle to say Australia will lose a Test, so I'm not going to go for 2-1 or 3-2. All I'll say is that I think Australia will win at least one more Test than England.

Vic Marks

Who will win? England will retain the Ashes but it will be a damn close thing, hingeing on their ability to react and perform when the match is in the balanceAnd the score? Was hoping to avoid that … 2-1 to England

Andy Wilson

Who will win? Dunno. Torn between England offering the most impressive display yet of their resilience, or age catching up with their thirtysomethings against a ferociously determined Australia teamAnd the score? 3-1 either way

Andy Bull

Who will win? England will retain the urn in the first drawn Ashes series in 40 years. Scarred by the experience of suggesting they would win in 2006-07, I'm loth to be any more optimistic than that.And the score? 2-2, a scoreline which has occurred only once in Ashes history.
